I don't recall Molly calling him that - but we're told, in the 
Sorting!

But, ABC - a beginning of Family. Arthur(the father) Bill(money-
related name, and works in a bank???) Charlie (who may have been a 
charming child).

Then, a break after two kids? Maybe.

Then, they have Percival Weasley. (I wonder if they read about 
*Arthur* and Round Table, and named Percy after Sir Percival, the 
knight who managed to be innocent, good and brave?)

Then, when Percy is two, and Mommy has *twin* babies to look after, 
and Daddy's at work... Bill(9) and Charlie(7) look after Percy(2)..
Two years. Bill attends Hogwarts. Charlie (9) may look after 4-year-
old Percy, but now they have *two* 2-year-old, busy toddlers AND a 
baby Ron! This situation means a) Percy must take a bit of 
responsibility at 4 - and does it by observing rules. b) Fred&George 
manage to gain Mommy's attention occasionally and c) Ron doesn't get 
as much attention as others when a baby, because one toddler or other 
is in trouble... explains a *lot* about their characters!

When Charlie foes to Hogwarts... Percy, practical joker-twins, 
toddler Ron, and baby Ginny.
Ginny grows, but this "home family" is that way for 7 years, then 
Percy attends Hogwarts - 9-year-old Fred&George gain attention by 
jokes, and 5-year-old Ginny's just little, for 2 years.

Then... Ron gets to go to Hogwarts. It's very understandable - all. 
How Ron got to be the one getting least attention - Ginny got a year 
by herself... Yes - Ron definately didn't get as much attention as 
others - but well...
